Trying out piefed.zip.
This could be my main.
I am also @JayGray91@piefed.social on piefed.social, @JayGray91@lemmy.zip on lemmy.zip, @JayGray91@lemmy.world on lemmy.world, @JayGray91@fedia.io on fedia.io, and @JayGray91@kbin.earth on kbin.earth
Definitely did. Just a bit of joking around. You know the trend I guess how it’s boxes but the corners with aggressive radius that in a long narrow box like say, an address bar will look like two semicircles at either end. Aka sausages.
Like for example take your picture. Instead of the Download button still looks like boxes with rounded corners, just increase the radius until they become semicircles. There was plenty of short sausages in the Firefox video ad from what I recall.
I watched the video ad for the “watch and get orbs” portion. I obviously already using a fork. My flavor is zen. Anyways.
It is a weird ad. Like it highlights the good strengths of Firefox. Like the ad blocking. Of course I’m then slapped by it with their stupid AI switch that wouldn’t be needed if it’s not in Firefox in the first place. Them it dragged on with bouncy dancing semi sausage shapes. Idk I wasn’t really paying attention I am a slave to getting the stupid orbs and dopamine
The ad feels like it can be cut in half and be as informational. And not include as much dancing sausages.
Oh it’s like that shoe company declaring they are an AI company.
Aw geez, wish I can help more. But IMO the dev is very aware of this. IIRC when 5.2.4, this current latest version, dropped, I remember seeing in-app popup pointing to that GitHub issue that the dev opened.
Could be related to this issue.
I can corroborate that when I turn off my custom DNS it works swimmingly, until YouTube figured out to block my IP again.
yeah as much as I don’t quite prefer the new look direction, I recognise that looks are important for some people to use a software. and if this brings more people to at least give firefox a try, I’ll take it.
